Hello my name is Carmine. The original Carmine mentioned in all editions of Rick Steves books. My father started as a tour guide in Naples in 1952 with a single hope to share the Italian culture with anyone who wanted to experience it. In 1989 I joined my father as a certified escort and guide in Italy and focused on my hometown of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. I have been sharing my hometown for over 27 years now and I have come to see that visiting my region can be very commercial. Most who visit never really got to feel Naples and the Amalfi coast for what it truly was. This region is filled with culture and experiences far beyond the tourist traps most tours limited their guests to. It is my goal for my guest to experience Italy, not just see it. It is one thing to visit my country but it another thing to experience it. I want my guests to experience the Amalfi Coast and live the Italian culture, even if it is only for one day. But he only way to do this is to get off the beaten path, step back into a world that has not been affected by progress or change and immerse yourself in the culture of this region. We breakaway from the tour bus experience and traverse small roads overlooking the most beautiful coast on the Mediterranean Sea. When you visit you will enjoy a true Farm to Table lunch experience. We will walk the terraced hillside and see where your food and wine came from and feel what it is like to be welcomed into the home and restaurant of an Italian family. This is the Italian Culture experience you are looking for. When you experience the Amalfi Coast through my eyes you will see Italy for what it really is. Come, let me show you my hometown. That's only one of the countless reason why you should contact me and find out more about it. I am positive that if you will come along on one of my tours you will absolutely love it, , and at the end of of your tour experience, like all my previuous guests you will refer to the tour as "Carmine's Secret Tour "aNickname that was given to me by Rick Steves . This caused a phenomonea within the travel business along the Amalfi coast. That many are trying to immulate my tour "Carmine's Secret Tour". If you want the authentic original and realexperience of the secreets of the Amalfi Coast. . Come join me om my secret adventuar tour "Carmine's Secret Tour".

    No secret spots and no guided tour I was very confused on this tour as it was touted as a tour away from all the tourists. But tourist spots was all we visited. Basically we paid for a driver. Carmine picked us up and drove us to Revello and dropped us off in front of the town center and said he would pick us up in 45 minutes. No guided information on the village or...

    You booked my Secret tour , but you insisted on visiting the principal towns of the Amalfi coast where all of the tourists are, but didn’t want to meet any tourists? The hidden gems and secrets of the Amalfi coast are not in the towns but along the drive. The tour includes an English speaking driver to show you all of the gems and give historical information but not...

    Our tour of the Amalfi coast was really great. Carmine's itinerary was the perfect way to really get a good feel for the entire area. Seeing the towns and beaches from the coast road, and stopping at various vantage points along the way meant that we got a wonderful overview of the area, much more extensive than we would have gotten if we had actually gone down to the...

    We have been on many tours, but Carmine’s tour is the best. He took us to local establishments that were off of the beaten path and were just fantastic. We got a real flavor for the Amalfi coast and its citizens. We highly recommend him.
